This episode pulls back the curtain on one of the most shocking human rights crises currently unfolding in the United States — the terrifyingly high number of missing and murdered Indigenous women. Thousands of cases reported in 2021 alone point towards a deeply ingrained systemic issue, where racial bias, underreporting, and jurisdictional complications lead to horrifying consequences for Native American communities. Dig into the symbolic use of red handprints by movement organizers, and discover how platforms like TikTok are creating waves of awareness about this dire issue.
